Rekbot: Gamified AI Training to Master Difficult Conversations
Workplace conversations are evolving, and so is the way we prepare for them. Imagine stepping into a training session that combines the excitement of a game with the realism of real-world challenges—powered entirely by AI. That’s the magic of Rekbot, an AI-driven platform designed to revolutionize role-play training.
The Challenge of Difficult Conversations
Workplace conversations, especially the difficult ones, are often anxiety-inducing. A recent survey conducted by Attensi among 2,139 employees across the US and UK found that:
- 75% of employees reported feeling anxious about handling difficult workplace conversations.
- 33% experienced this anxiety as recently as the last six months.
- Anxiety is especially pronounced among Gen Z and Millennials, at 39% and 38%, respectively.
Traditional training methods often fail to address these challenges effectively. They’re awkward, inconsistent, and tough to scale. Employees are left with limited opportunities to practice, and managers are stretched thin trying to facilitate impactful sessions.

Employees Are Ready for AI Training
The Attensi survey revealed an exciting shift in employee attitudes toward AI:
- 72% of employees would welcome training on handling difficult workplace conversations, with interest peaking at 87% for Gen Z.
- When asked if they’d prefer training from their manager or an AI virtual trainer, responses were evenly split at 38% each. Interestingly, 24% had no preference, highlighting growing trust in AI as a training partner.
